Clinton Flip Flop Alert: Gun Control

Today, Days After Secur­ing The Demo­c­rat Nom­i­na­tion, Clin­ton Said She Doesn’t Want The Heller Deci­sion Which Estab­lished An Indi­vid­ual Right To Own A Firearm Over­turned. FOXNEWS’ CHRISWALLACE: “I just want to pur­sue this a bit. Heller, Jus­tice Scalia said that the right to bear arms is rea­son­ably lim­it­ed. He let the door open to reg­u­la­tion. If you’re elect­ed pres­i­dent, you’re going to appoint the ninth Supreme Court jus­tice.” CLINTON: “Um-hmm.” WALLACE: “Are you say­ing you do not want to see the Heller deci­sion, the indi­vid­ual right to bear arms over­turned?” CLINTON: “No, I don’t.” (Hillary Clin­ton, Fox News’ Fox News Sun­day, 7/31/16)

Last Year, Clin­ton Lam­bast­ed The Supreme Court’s Deci­sion In Dis­trict Of Colum­bia V. Heller, Which Found D.C.‘s Ban On Hand­guns Uncon­sti­tu­tion­al.“While Clin­ton has pre­vi­ous­ly sup­port­ed an assault weapons ban, this is the first time since launch­ing her cam­paign that she indi­cat­ed that she would take on the Supreme Court over gun issues. Although Clin­ton did not iden­ti­fy which Supreme Court case she dis­agreed with, she appeared to be crit­i­ciz­ing the land­mark 2008 rul­ing in Dis­trict of Colum­bia v. Heller, which found the hand­gun ban in Wash­ing­ton, D.C., uncon­sti­tu­tion­al… ‘We’ve got to go after this,’ Clin­ton con­tin­ued. ‘And here again, the Supreme Court is wrong on the Sec­ond Amend­ment. And I am going to make that case every chance I get.’ ” (Alana Good­man and Stephen Gutowski,“Leaked Audio: Clin­ton Says Supreme Court Is ‘Wrong’ on Sec­ond Amend­ment,“The Wash­ing­ton Free Bea­con, 10/1/15)
